The problem
Across the concrete industry ,workers are regularly exposed to:
Wet concrete and slurry entering gumboots
Prolonged skin contact with concrete and chemicals in the concrete
Contamination of socks and internal footwear
Increased risk of chemical burns and skin irritation
This issue is consistent across pumping, placing, and finishing activities, and is often accepted as unavoidable — despite the clear safety implications.
